More "Brain Salad Surgery "-Other TeamsThread

Shit happens once in awhile. A little NBA talk isn't bad as long as we switch back to footy pretty quickly.

I was more astonished at those banners at Ajax. I know Amsterdam is a VERY liberal city (as the banners allude to themselves) but how can they get away with this? With thousands of people of all ages, sexes & religions in the stadium? With millions on TV? Astonishing is the only word I can find.

 

That said it is fun watching him implode at tournaments.

Penalty crazy in CSKA v Bayern. But man hasn't Honda gone off the boil since he didn't get his move to Milan.

 

I've only watched this one in passing (as we're furiously cleaning the house before the holiday here in the States). Always unique to see the sport played in extreme cold.

 

Seems Jose's return to Chelsea is not going to plan lol..

I have a feeling he'll win the league cup though.

 

just now

play on player

 

Real's (far from first choice) midfield three is pretty tantalizing right now, and they're all under 24.

 

Nice take, Bale.

 

No really interesting match ups tonight unlike yesterdays match day.

 

Just wait until tomorrow.

 

when you got mad

 

Tromso IL vs Tottenham Hotspur, for those of you who who are unfamiliar with them, they are a small team from North London

 

NBA talk is always awful.

 

Soldado gets no support at all. Its true what they say, their midfielders are all selfish.

 

Funny that Fulham have made more mark in the Europa League than Spurs has of late.

 

Soldado is shit off the ball, though. Service is impossible to provide if your striker doesn't know where to run.

 

Even without support he's just useless.

In modern football a striker needs to do more than only wait for the other players to support him, Soldado does nothing most of the time.

The awkward moment when you're best players are the ones that weren't signed (at Spurs).

 

Just hoping they lose against United on Sunday. Seems Andre would be under real pressure then haha..

 

I think what's truly hurtful for Spurs is that we're top and playing the best football lol.. and that they were so confident they'd be better but it hasn't turned out as planned.

 

Also, Pookspur, what's your view on what's happening? I'm not rubbing it in, just genuinely curious.

 

I still hope you guys can pull a result against MU. That way it will be a win win. United mini run will be stopped and a victory will guarantee that AVB will be around for at least the next few games .

 

@pookspur

So do you want the manager to be replaced at this point? Or give him until the end of this season to sort things out? I think the talent is there no matter what others might say. I just think it is a case if too many chefs trying different recipes.

 

i don't get avb.

i get that he might not know his best team
i get that he needs another striker
i get that he wants to play a certain, fixed way and needs to keep at it for it to gel
but
why so many changes from week to week? that can't settle anyone.
why not try harry kane or dafoe, since it seems obvious adebayor will never play again bar an emergency? surely he can only wait so long for soldado to click
why has capoue hardly seen the field considering avb chops and changes so much every single game? he has changed the centre pair a few times. capoue has been fit for weeks and weeks now.
why is he persisting with dembele so much? to me, he hasn't looked like doing it at all
why not shuffle his tactics around when things obviously aren't going well with the setup he prefers? he will have to pick either his ability to change tactics or personnel, but sticking with tactics that aren't working and changing personnel so much is a double whammy in terms of a settled side. the extent of changes of player is not giving the onfield stability for his setup to work. it's just too much.

 

he's not that good of a manager and is being found out.

He stay trying to shoehorn players and then buys someone to replace them when they dont fit. He sucks.

On top of that, he has a cantankerous attitude. At least with Mourinho, he can inspire his players. I dont see that with Villas-Boas.
